Guowu Meng is a Professor of Mathematics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, specializing in Geometry, Symmetries, and Mathematical Physics. His research explores the interplay between geometric structures and physical systems, with a focus on quantization, symmetries, and their applications in quantum mechanics and field theories. Meng's work includes studies on the MICZ-Kepler problems, quantum Hall effect, and geometric constructions in higher dimensions. He has also contributed to the understanding of Dirac and Yang monopoles, Lorentz groups, and the representation theory of generalized hydrogen atoms. His research bridges abstract mathematical concepts with physical phenomena, emphasizing the role of symmetry in both classical and quantum systems.
